Where do you apply for a visa for Egypt from Norway?
A visa on arrival for Egypt is issued at the border post itself, at a counter placed before immigration control.
- Not every crossing issues it. Confirm that your specific airport or land border does before you book.
- The counter is reached after landing and before immigration. Follow the visa signs rather than the exit.
- The fee is usually paid on the spot, sometimes in cash and in a specific currency. Card is not guaranteed.
Using an online service
You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in Norway on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Norway but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

How long does a visa for Egypt take?
A visa on arrival is issued at the counter of the entry point when you cross the border: there is no processing time to plan for before departure.
Through the online application (Egypt e-Visa): 5-7 business days.
Processing times and advice
No processing time or permitted length of stay is stated in the information provided for travellers from Norway. Confirm these points on the official portal before departure. Bring exact cash only if cash payment is accepted at the visa desk.

Do not assume that document requirements, payment methods, or entry conditions remain unchanged without checking. Avoid going directly to immigration without first locating the visa-on-arrival desk in Egypt. Consult the official portal before travelling.
